missing or improper keyPressed KeyEvent handling

import java.awt.Frame;

 --------------------------------------------
for some reason, control+a works okay, but
shift+a does not. shift+a generates keycode **0**
In jdk1.1.X, there isn't even an event generated.

Note that this INCLUDES jdk1.1.7!!

The ms-windows version runs the code correctly.

bugID 4185844 needs to be updated, to show that the bug is
present for jdk1.2.1 under solaris.

ADDITIONALLY, I was told a few days ago (last week?) that
it would be updated to show it is still a bug under
jdk1.1.8.

It has not been updated.
